    Luoyang, Xijing, is defended by eight passes, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a basin of 500 miles is enclosed.  Yao Gu¡¯s Xihe Army could not cross the river from Pujin, so they had to march overland to Xijing.  After losing his temper with local officials in Xijing, he turned to lead the army and marched eastward, passing through the Zhiyuan Pass in Shaoshi Mountain, and continued to rush towards Bianliang.  Yao Gu no longer had much retreat.  He came out of Guanzhong this time, which violated the tacit understanding of the generals of the Western Army to advance and retreat together when Lao Zhong was there. Lao Zhong had no choice, so Yao Gu ignored it and left, and even hooked up with the Western Army garrisons in many places along the way.  You can already imagine how angry Xiaozhong, who was guarding his brother's death, was.  He was unable to advance eastward, and if he wanted to turn back, Xiaozhong would block the road with the Qin and Feng armies at Jingyuan. Yao Gu was afraid that he would not even be able to return to Xihe!  (Yao Gu is the Xihe Army. Oscar wrote it wrong before. Let me say it again) And this time he resolutely led the Xihe Army to come here for the sake of wealth and wealth.  Yao Gu still wanted to compete for the Yao family's position as the number one general in Kansai.  But the family is deeply rooted and cannot compete in this area.  Therefore, it is necessary to get strong support from the central government. When Yao Gu saw this opportunity before, he thought he would win, so how could he let it go?  Although Cai Jing endorsed this trip, Cai Jing is the head of Dongfu after all.  To mobilize the troops and horses of the world, the emperor must issue an edict and the Xifu will sign it.  Without such procedures, such a large army moving lightly is tantamount to rebellion.  So when Yao Gu discovered that there was no boat at Pujin Ferry, although he knew that things were not good, he could only take the risk and move forward.  I hope Cai Jing can stabilize the situation in the center, and he will lead the elite Xihe Army to arrive. If they cooperate with each other, they can also give Xiao Yan a break.  Even if his face was torn, Xiao Yan could not suppress Cai Jing and the Western Army for a while. The powerful counties and counties in the world could naturally see the situation clearly and swarmed up, biting Xiao Yan's little strength into pieces.  ¡°After all, the head of the Yao family is the second-ranking general in the Western Army.  Yao Gu still looked down on people like Xiao Yan.  The foundation is too shallow, and there were no operations of several decades or three generations in the Song Dynasty.  How to support a family of generals?  How can it be called a deep-rooted and unshakable force?  That day, it was just Lao Zhong who was in a hurry to return home with the main force of the Western Army. He did not leave Grandpa Yao to compete with you in Bianliang.  Otherwise, how would you, a slut like you, have any chance of soaring into the sky?  As for the ever-victorious army of the Bird God, it was just a mixture of unwanted military horses from the Western Army and the ashes of Guo Pharmacist.  When you encounter the real elites of Kansai, use all your strength to deal with them. Let's see how long we can last.  Not to mention that the main force of the old Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is still in the east of the river. Xiao Yan stirred up trouble in Bianliang, but he only relied on the new army formed by the natives of Bianliang. Even if he mobilized some troops and horses, he also took out the fleet to block the river crossing.  The methods may not really be able to support this situation where everyone is the enemy!  With five points of unshakable confidence.  Three points were lucky, and two points were nothing.  Yao Gu just led the troops to advance quickly.  But even though the Yao family and his son could still grit their teeth and hold on, the Xihe Army under their command was really unable to withstand it.  Xihe's headquarters is directly facing the Hehuang and Fan tribes and does the largest horse market business. Coupled with the medicinal materials and furs of the Fan tribe, even a mid-level military general has a rich family.  The tribes of the Qing and Tang Dynasties could barely be called submissive over the years, which was completely different from the Xixia army and horses who often cheated on their bodies.  The Xihe Army has not seen a major war for many years.  In the battle to conquer Yan, the performance of the Xihe Army was actually worse than that of the Huanqing Army, which had fought several fierce battles.  Although the Xihe Army was able to pull out the largest cavalry group among the Kansai armies by relying on the first-come-first-served position near the water, it supported Yao Gu and his son in such a thousand-mile raid.  But in this way, we pass through Tongguan from the hinterland of Guanxi.  Then the long-distance march from Tongguan to Xijing, and from Xijing through Songshan Mountain to Bianliang, these Xihe athletes really couldn't withstand it.  In fact, even if it is replaced by Xiao Yan¡¯s old Shenwu Changshengjun.  Even the elite Jurchens could only complain about such a long-distance attack.  From Pujin Ferry to Sheyuan Pass, countless Kansai troops were sparsely abandoned along the way.  Yao Gu had no choice but to let his men and horses, who were unwilling to advance even half a step forward for various reasons to be killed, settled on the spot and thought of a way out.  If the arrival at Bianliang does not go smoothly, we can still roll up the curtain and go back, but it doesn't matter if we can't occupy Xijing.  After passing Shenyuan Pass, we came out of the Songshan Mountains.  The only people who can follow Yao Gu are the elite Xihe, who has more than two thousand riders who have lost their shape.  The horses also lost weight seriously.  You can die just by walking.  If it weren't for the fact that many of the remaining military horses had not been brought out as spare replacements, Yao Gu would have surrendered now.  Let everyone enter on foot.  That was enough to be tortured by Xiao Yan. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When you see plains and open spaces, with people in all directions, villages and towns everywhere, it is a prosperous scene in the Kinki area of ??the Song Empire.  Everyone in the Xihe Army breathed a sigh of relief.  After leaving Songshan, it¡¯s only two or three days¡¯ journey to Bianliang.  When the time comes, go to the city and support your husband.  If Xiao Yan wants to fight, he will fight. Anyway, this road is not accessible to straight women and thieves!  On the way, I saw the soldiers around me and my morale was finally a little higher.Yao Gu hurriedly followed up and encouraged him: "I'm going to Bianliang, but I have gained something. Whether it's the treasures accumulated by the Xiao thieves or the rewards from the court, Yao will not take any of them and reward them all! It's such a hard work this time  , after the matter is settled, Yao will do his part in the position of Vice-President of the West Palace. The imperial guard army will be rebuilt. Who else can take charge of this matter except us, Xihe Jianer?  Isn¡¯t that what you have in your pocket? The Forbidden Army¡¯s huge property, which has been accumulated for hundreds of years, is not yours to return from the hands of Xiao Thief.¡± After being tortured along the way, Yao Gu finally calmed down.  Originally, his ambition was to sit in the center and let his descendants lead the Xihe Army. Maybe he would also rebuild the Huanqing Army, which would also be led by the Yao family's descendants.  In this way, with him in charge, Kansai also controls half of the country, and there is no possibility that the Chan family will be annexed in the future.  With the world's most powerful army in hand, and the internal control of the Xifu, I am afraid that Yao Gu's power and position will surpass Xiao Yan!  He, Yao, was naturally loyal to the Song Dynasty, but since the Song Dynasty had set a precedent of granting the title of one-word county king, Yao might as well try again But this time the attack did not go well, Xiao Zhong was there.  Behind the scenes, he was probably gnashing his teeth.  Yao Gu's tone has become that he will always hold the capital from now on, and Guanxi will only protect the Xihe Army.  If my son is willing to travel thousands of miles back and forth between Xihe and Dumen, let him go.  I don¡¯t know why his son Yao Pingzhong has this strange habit of becoming happier the more he runs on the road, while others are extremely tired, but he runs thousands of miles without taking it seriously?  General Xihe would like to hear such instigation.  Choose a few of your children to stay in Xihe and keep the family business.  The rest joined the Bianliang Forbidden Army and became noble officials in this most prosperous place in the world.  It has branches and leaves and all the benefits are taken advantage of. Isn't this the most beautiful thing in the world?  General Xihe gathered around Yao Gu.  Immediately they expressed their loyalty.  He never took Xiao Yan seriously.  Ever since they came out of Shuyuan Pass and saw that the Kinki area was safe and secure as usual, these generals were relieved.  I feel like this trip will go smoothly again.  When all the troops and horses were moving a little faster.  Yao Pingzhong suddenly hurried back from the front.  Yao Gu, his beloved son, loves to travel long distances. When Xihe's army was exhausted, they were counting every step.  After Yao Pingzhong was still running forward, he just ordered a few more unlucky sergeants to go to the front post to investigate.  Turning around at this time, when several generals were about to greet General Yao, they saw Yao Pingzhong's face was ashen and said to his father: "The front is wrong!" Yao Gu was shocked.  He waved to the troops to stop.  Lift your eyes and look forward.  It is a spring day in Kinki. The weather is clear, the sun is shining brightly and the wind is clear. There is only a faint dust and sand rolling up from the east. I don¡¯t know what the situation is.  Yao Gu just stopped and watched with a blank expression. His two thousand or so cavalry Xihe Army soldiers were also very long. They were afraid that they would not disperse for more than ten or twenty miles. They stopped in front, but they were still coming slowly from behind.  .  Gradually more and more people gathered.  Yao Gu suddenly galloped up to a slightly higher hill on the side of the road.  A group of generals also followed closely.  In the blink of an eye, dozens of Xihe military generals surrounded Yao Gu on the hill.  Looking eastward, everyone's face turned pale.  To the east, there is a large group of cavalry.  The branch road is coming here!  The land near Bianliang and Jiji has vast plains and no major north-south waterways passing through it. It can be called a land with flat plains.  As the most prosperous place in the world, roads extend in all directions and you can travel everywhere.  Even though it is convenient for the world's wealth to be transferred to Bianliang, it is indeed a place of the Fourth War, and it is extremely difficult to defend it.  Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, many plans were made to move the capital, but they were always abandoned because of too many implications.  There is no need to talk about this nonsense about him.  At this moment, in this plain land, among countless roads.  There are countless cavalry troops flying various flags.  Roll towards Yao Gu!  A small group of passers-by on the front road were rushing back quickly, just to report the exact position of Yao Gujun they had seen.  In addition to these economical military horses with complete organizations and various command banners.  There are countless Qingqi riding in front!  The formation of these light cavalry is scattered, and the athletes on the horses are also wearing different colors. The only thing they have in common is that they seem to be glued to the horse's back.  With only short soldiers and long bows, no matter where the enemy goes, these scattered light cavalry can catch up with them, stick to them, harass them with bows and arrows, and wait for the large group of heavy cavalry to catch up and sweep them away!  Yao Gu and the surrounding generals were all stunned.  Watching the smoke and dust raised by the thousands of horses rushing and rolling, it was like a huge wall between heaven and earth, slowly pressing towards my own army and horse.  Yao Gu could confirm at this moment that this was Xiao Yan's military horse!  How could he manage such a huge cavalry group?  And why did this cavalry group suddenly appear in Bianliang, and why did it sweep towards me again?  Countless thoughts surged in Yao Gu's chest.  Thinking of Xiao Yan's efforts to recruit local scattered Han troops during the Yandi War, I thought??Xiao Yan stayed in Tanzhou for a long time before arriving in Yanjing. He remembered that Xiao Yan did not kill many people in Yan and tried his best to recruit the scattered people and settle them in Tanzhou.  At that time, everyone in the Western Army didn't laugh at Xiao Yan for being so meddlesome?  Will the imperial court let someone like him return to the south stay in Yan?  You are not allowed to go to Bianliang alone!  Thinking again of Xiao Yan's army coming out lightly, of the ships that suddenly disappeared in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and of Xiao Yan's usual behavior.  At this moment, Yao Gu suddenly understood.  After understanding it, it was a deep fear.  How dare we dare to make enemies of such a powerful person who started planning a few years ago and acted decisively?  Xiao Yan must have used Yellow River ships to transport these armies back and forth to support Yan's troops heading south. Naturally, the Yongning army was powerless.  Then after pacifying Bianliang, he turned around and dealt with the Xihe Army!  Fighting quickly and fighting thousands of miles away are exactly the characteristics shown by Xiao Yan in the battle against Yan!  Xiao YanNo, King Yan must be among these ten thousand horses!  Yao Pingzhong murmured: "Dad, what should we do?" Yao Gu looked back and saw that the road was still sparse and there were more than 2,000 exhausted troops and horses.  Fei Ran sighed: "Turn around and run! If you are lucky, you can escape into Xijing and stay behind closed doors!" Yao Pingzhong still asked himself: "What if you are not lucky?" Yao Gu sighed and said bitterly: "If you are not lucky, you will be caught up.  , If King Yan wants the lives of our father and son, we will fight to the death. If King Yan promises to live, we will have to surrender! The main force of the Western Army is still there, and the world is not attached.  Hu Lu has the temper to fight to the end. King Yan can't cut off our heads easily, but we can only take over the post!" After saying this, Yao Gu already turned his horse and walked away.  Despite all the hard work, I arrived near Bianliang. I wanted to turn around in two steps in three steps.  Even though he still had great hope of surviving after falling into Xiao Yan's hands, his power and position were all gone.  Except for the bit on the tail of the elite Xihe brought out, the rest must become Xiao Yan's bag.  What's left is Xihe's little foundation.  I can't stand in front of Xiao Zhong.  If you can escape, it's better to escape!  It¡¯s too late to go back and cry to Xiao Zhong for protection, and then run for the Zhong family again!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~ On the side of Liyangjin, there is the Yongning military camp.  Since Xiao Yanyan¡¯s army and horses marched south to capture Liyangjin in advance, the Yongning army has completely lost ground.  Xiao Yan's newly trained Chinese army and Yan's army and horses were so large that only 70% of them could be transported back to Bianliang, and the fleet's shipping capacity was also limited.  Nearly ten thousand troops and horses were left, closely monitoring the Yongning Army, which was also torn to pieces. ?????????????? Wang Zhen, Ma Kuoyu and Wenxuzhong were able to keep their composure, or it could be said that the jar was broken.  Gather the Yongning soldiers and horses on the spot.  Set up camp near Liyangjin.  But if he needed supplies, he would honestly and politely ask for them from the nearby garrison of King Yan.  King Yan really gave him this army and horse.  The Bianliang Incident was expected by three people.  It was already a game that Xiao Yan was bound to win.  The only thing I'm worried about is whether Xiao Yan will act too violently and completely tear the Song Dynasty into pieces!  The three of them seemed to be waiting for something for the past few days.  Then, as the three expected, a boat floated upstream.  An envoy from the Heavenly Family arrived on the boat and ordered the king to send horses to expand into the capital.  Yu Wenxuzhong is not a person on the surface, so naturally he will not be included in the imperial edict.  Wang reported to Ma Kuo that he boarded the boat with the angel without saying a word.  Yu Wenxuzhong also smiled and followed.  The three of them abandoned the Yongning Army and left.  And everyone in the Yongning Army seemed to know that such a day had come, and they just sent it silently.  The Yellow River is surging and the night is like paint.  It's late at night.  The three of them still stood at the bow of the boat for a long time.  Wang Zhen suddenly said: "Shutong, Zichong. What are you thinking about?" Ma Kuo said softly: "If King Yan is going on a killing spree, he will have the intention of treason at this moment. If someone is a ghost, he will not let him go." Yuwen  Xu Zhong chuckled softly: "If King Yan still puts the overall situation first, lift it high and put it down gently. It just buys some time to concentrate the strength of his subordinates, and fight against the Jurchen who is already in Yun Nei. It is very likely that he will not be able to resist.  Then what happened to Zong Wang's troops who went south?" Ma Kuo was silent for a while and then said with difficulty: "Fight the Jurchens first!" Wang Zhen still refused to let Yu Wen Xuzhong go, "Shutong,  "What do you think?" Yu Wenxu pondered for a moment, and finally said: "If there is no such big enemy as the Jurchen, King Yan's two attempts to stir up chaos in Bianliang will only bring benefits to himself in the end.  Destroyed. Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, Sima replaced Cao, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Liang Dynasty, and the Yuwen clan in the Sui Dynasty had a strong foundation in the old dynasty!?But it is a terminal illness. The more people are killed, the stronger the rebound will be in the future!  But one day when the Jurchens move south and the sky collapses and the earth falls, if the King of Yan can travel thousands of miles to fight and defeat the Jurchens defending the country, then although the foundation is not solid, the achievements will be more than enough to make up for it. Then the King of Yan will have a strong and unshakable trend!  Replacing Zhao with Xiao is unknown!  " These words can only be seen clearly and spoken by a wise man like Yu Wenxuzhong. For Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo, who have experienced hardships together for a short time, they can be regarded as sincere. Wang Zhen murmured: "The King of Yan is  Bet on this?  There are strong Jurchen enemies outside, but there are always people inside who only hope that King Yan will fail.  Can King Yan win this war?  " Yu Wenxu pointed his middle finger at the sky above his head: "Only God can investigate.  We are just ups and downs.  If Nu Zhen wins, she will die for the country.  If King Yan wins, he will be a remnant of the previous dynasty.  If we talk about the students' plans, this is it.  " The three of them fell silent again. The Song Dynasty was riddled with holes, the strong man was rising, the internal strife was always undercurrent, and the Jurchen enemy was more powerful than the Liao people. What will this world become?  What does it look like ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Dozens of miles outside the pass, Xiao Yan had already set up a temporary camp, and then attacked Yao Gu like a lightning bolt.  Encirclement. And Xiao Yan hastily set up camp, just waiting for the news from the front. The so-called camp was just a few hundred Yan Wangzhi soldiers guarding Xiao Yan, and Xiao didn't even set up a tent.  Yan was sitting on a big stone waiting quietly beside the bonfire. Suddenly, there was a faint cheer in the night, and then a large group of soldiers from King Yan came forward to catch him.  The soldiers escorted many Xihe army generals, and Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong were also among them. After surrounding Yao Gu's army and horses, all the soldiers followed Xiao Yan's instructions and just shouted: "Surrender, the Yao family and his son will be exempted from death."  !  " After shouting back and forth two or three times, the Xihe Army generals, who were already foaming at the mouth from exhaustion, surrendered, including the Yao family's father and son. " Like the Xihe Army generals, they can be sent down for resettlement, but the Yao family's father and son must  He wanted to see Xiao Yan in the future. The soldier of Yan Wang took the Yao family and his son directly to Xiao Yan. The soldier whispered and ordered the Yao family to meet him. Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong finally showed their general arrogance, and Yao Gu stepped forward.  Step one: "King Yan, we finally meet.  Since I don¡¯t want to kill our father and son, I just want to find a gorgeous place to take care of us.  You win this round!  " After Yao Gu finished speaking, Xiao Yan just remained silent. Yao Gu was a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it. When he looked closely, he saw Xiao Yan sitting on the big stone, already asleep. Xiao Yan was wearing ordinary military uniforms.  The outer cloak of Jiang's armor was old and dirty, and his face was stained with black and gray sweat like other soldiers. At this time, he was sitting on the big stone, holding his sword with both hands, and resting his chin on the hilt.  Xiao Yan was snoring slightly, and Yao Gu saw that Yan Yun was only twenty-five or six years old when he first met him. At this time, a few white hairs on his temples were scattered, like a bonfire.  Driven by the heat, it trembles slightly (To be continued) PS: The second update is difficult!
